Can you please explain it to me?

What it means by properly is in regard to the sunnat and the wajib part of the wudu'

1st-u said the basmallah and clean ur right hand till the wrist 3 times..next is the left hand (sunnat)

2nd-gurgle water inside ur mouth 3 times (sunnat)

3rd-fill ur nose with water and something like sneezing it out (sunnat)

4th-wash(more like cleaning) ur face 3 times (wajib)

5th-wash ur right hand 3 times until ur elbow and then the left one (wajib)

6th-the hair on your forehead..3 times (wajib)

7th-your ears 3 times(sunnat)

8th-ur feet till ankle 3 times (right to left)

this should be done without comitting into a converstion or thinking of something else..(there are 7 ways to get god ablution according to imam al-ghazali but i can't remember all)

then about how to concentrate in your solat when reciting the ayaat.. u have to feel as if u r in front of Allah Taala and He is looking at you and listening to every word you said wether u said it with full meaning or just saying it while thinking of something else..
according to imam al-ghazali(again..i've been reading his book) to get khusyu'(fully undistracted), u have to recite surah an-nas b4 ur solat.. take a deep breath and think of only doing the solat (any of the five). try it, insyaAllah, u may not get distracted in ur solat.

SAlaam

Thanks for posting this. This helps remind us to try our best while praying to Allah, and to continuly perfect our prayers. Hopefully we can all try to strive for the fifth one.

Jazak Allah khair for sharing; i have read it before so many times. May Allah Ta'ala accept our salah and give us strength to reach level 5...Ameen

This is how I ignore the distractions during salah
1) Think of it as it is your last salah
2) Imagine as if you are standing in big open space, no one is there except as if you are standing in front of Allah Ta'ala

If the above ones do not work then try these
1) Imagine that every time you concentrate more, you kind of get closer to Allah Ta'ala, like literally the distance is decreasing--moving closer towards Jannah
2) Think about your sins and what will happen if Allah Ta'ala did not forgive you or not accepted your salah
